Nerd Out With: Matt Brachi - Port Waikato, Labour

Matt Brachi, Labour’s Port Waikato Candidate is a lover of 80s pop culture, a Warhammer Cosplayer, a STEM teacher and running in an electorate where the current outgoing MP got drunk and yelled at workers, a local list MP worked for a race baiting right wing lobby group and oversaw the reintroduction of pro-smoking laws, and this year he’ll be up against the head of the oxymoronically titled Bluegreens (Nationals working group for Environmental policies) and an anti semitic admin of conspiracy theory groups who considers David Seymour left leaning. In this episode of Nerd Out With, I catch up with Matt to talk Ghostbusters, Warhammer and classic Pop Culture’s influence on students of today.Check out www.election2026.co.nz for resources and tools to help you decide on who to vote for.Why not check out some of my other content - there’s an award winning podcast, a weekly newsletter and more - https://linktr.ee/paul_barlownzAnd if you want to support what I do with a donation, you can do that through this link - https://buymeacoffee.com/paul.theotheroneAll your support is really appreciated, especially as we push for a change of government in 2026!©️ Paul… The Other One, 2026
